Tempe High School offers special programs such as HOPE, AVID, Dual Enrollment, and JAG. Visit the menu to the left to learn more about our Academic Programs:

Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID)

AVID is a college-prep curricular program for students in the academic middle in which students take an elective class held within the regular school day that provides support, academic monitoring, and tutoring. In addition to the AVID elective class, each AVID student is required to take at least one honors or IB course.

Dual Enrollment

Dual Enrollment is offered as a partnership with Maricopa Community Colleges; students can take college-level math, science, and English courses that will count both for high school and college credit.

H.O.P.E

HOPE, the Health Occupation Preparatory Education Academy, is a partnership between Tempe High, Tempe St. Luke’s Hospital and Mesa Community College and presents core courses (Math, Science, Social Studies, and English) with a medical focus.

International Baccalaureate

The IB Diploma Program is a rigorous college-prep program designed for highly motivated students interested in a challenging educational experience with an international perspective. Founded in Switzerland in 1968, there are currently over 2,800 IB schools worldwide that offer the IB Diploma. Our aim is to develop students who are knowledgeable, inquiring, compassionate, and who will use cultural understanding and respect to create a more peaceful world.

Jobs for Arizona’s Graduates (JAG)

JAG’s mission is to help young people stay in school and to acquire the academic, personal, leadership and vocational skills they will need to be successful upon graduation.
